By James Graham Prusa and Kim Jin THE 2015 PRESIDENTS CUP: Preparation of the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club of Korea The Presidents Cup will be played on Asian soil for the first time this October and the host country, South Korea is going all out to make it a major sporting spectacle. The Presidents Cup started over twenty years ago as a team competition between an International Team of non-Europeans and an American team who battle for the coveted possession of the prestigious 24-carat gold cup trophy created by Tiffany of New York. The team players all volunteer their participation without personal gain or any prize money with the winning team having the honour to allocate millions of dollars to their designated charities worldwide. Such volunteerism is a historic tradition in golf and a pillar of the Presidents Cup.

ASIAN CLUB BUSINESS E-BULLETIN #24 OFFICIAL MAGAZINE FOR CLUB MANAGERS ASSOCIATION OF ASIA: All volunteer are welcomed, but must have at least seven years of experience in golf course management. Superintendent Yoon is a seasoned, professional superintendent who has been in charge of the JNGCK golf course since it opened in 2010. He is working closely with Jay Sporl, a senior PGA Tour Agronomist, who is well experienced with preparing previous Presidents Cup courses and hundreds of PGA Tour events. Sporl and Yoon worked together on two previous Champions Tour events at the venue and have forged an efective, international relationship that has guided the course preparation since 2013. They’ve managed the recent design adjustments and reestablishment of the grasses. Yoon confesses that the most difcult aspect of preparing the JNGCK course is dealing with the wear on the course. He explained, “Heavy rounds of play everyday is customary in Korea and it’s the number 1 challenge to deal with. We have to address the wear on the playing surfaces and it’s also difcult to get the necessary work done in between all the golfers. “While we have hosted the Champions Tour and events from other tours at our club, the Presidents Cup demands so much more advanced work. Due to the world’s television and media focus for the Presidents Cup on Korea, we’ll all have zero tolerance for any blemishes on the golf course.” For Yoon the greatest challenge to manage the cool season creeping bents and fescues of the JNGCK in the remaining time before the Presidents Cup will be the notorious Korean summer. He now faces the ’60- days of hell’ period beginning in July with the typically ASIAN CLUB BUSINESS E-BULLETIN #24 OFFICIAL MAGAZINE FOR CLUB MANAGERS ASSOCIATION OF ASIA: tropical heat and non-stop, rainy season driven by the According to Sporl, “Many of the greens had their southwestern monsoon that sweeps across Asia from contours softly adjusted, but we placed the grass sod the Indian Ocean. back in the exact same pattern and orientation where removed.

Together they share a combined 16 wins on the Asian Tour. Can you just share some thoughts coming back to Melbourne, second time in five years? ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Yeah, I think we're both very excited. The last time we were here five years ago, again, both of us played but obviously it was a different format. I think that's the most exciting matter of being back. Also, playing this golf course, which is, you know, amazing. So yeah, I think it's exciting for both of us playing this format for the first time I think in the World Cup is something that we're looking forward to. MODERATOR: Gaganjeet? GAGANJEET BHULLAR: Absolutely agree with Anirban. This is the first time we're playing in this kind of format. We played yesterday and the day before. The golf course is in a great shape. You know, we're just working on our strategy like for the alternate shot. You know, really excited and looking forward to play this format. MODERATOR: How's the game feel this week? GAGANJEET BHULLAR: Game's pretty good. You know, the last five or six months I've been playing really well, a lot of consistent rounds, and I think the victory in Fiji actually gave me a lot of confidence. Now I'm riding high on confidence and really excited to place myself in Europe next year. As I said, feeling good, feeling very positive this week.

  • WATERFRONT GOLF CLUB LOCAL RULES Club Rule
    WATERFRONT GOLF CLUB LOCAL RULES Club Rule (Mt. Woodson) There are no out of bounds or lost balls when we play Mt. Woodson. Play any lost ball or out of bounds ball as ball lost in penalty area. Drop forward with one stroke penalty when the area lies between the tee box and the fairway. Club Rule (Boulder Oaks) All desert areas have been designated penalty areas (regardless of what it might say on the scorecard). The player has the option to play his/her ball as it lies in the desert area or take relief using the point the ball crossed into the desert area and a point one club length (longest club not your putter) no nearer the hole to drop and play from with 1 penalty stroke added. Example – Tee shot enters desert area and comes to rest in a location the player does not wish to play from. Relief is taken from the point the ball crossed into the desert area and the player is now playing their third shot (Stroke 1 in penalty area, drop is stroke 2, hit stroke 3) Club Rule (Alternative to Stroke & Distance) A new Local Rule will provide golfers with an alternative to stroke-and-distance relief for balls that are lost outside a penalty area or out of bounds. Stroke-and-distance relief will still be available (provisional shots are encouraged if in doubt) but it’s not the only option now. For a penalty of two strokes you can drop and not return to the position the original shot was played from.

    rolex anD golf forever golf Rolex is committed to the permanent quest for excellence in all its activities and has been a long-term supporter of golf in its pursuit of the same. The brand’s enduring relationship with the game began more than 50 years ago, in 1967, with Arnold Palmer, joined by Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Known together as The Big Three, these legendary players changed the face of golf forever, and their partnership with Rolex marked the beginning of a relationship based on a commitment to continuous im- provement and unwavering precision. Since then, the affiliation between Rolex and golf has grown into one with a global reach. Rolex is now part of the very fabric of golf and supports the game at all levels, including elite players and legends of the game, Major cham- pionships, the foremost professional tours and the world’s leading team competitions. Rolex’s support for golf is governed by underlying values of integrity and respect for tradition that ensure the continuity of exper- tise and knowledge, while understanding the importance of investing in the development of sport for future generations. As such, the Swiss watchmaker extends its support to amateur tournaments, international federations and organizations representing golfers of all ages. The as- sociation between Rolex and golf stands for quality, elegance, reliability and a pioneering spirit. Please note that the following information is in line with the “traditional” golfing calendar. However, given the extraordinary circumstances that have impacted the entire world in 2020, the dates of some of these events are most likely to have changed and/or will be changed.
